First Retelling

In the beginning there was only the Adamant. Then God stirred the adamant with his finger, and wrote a glyph which means "sink down" and in the adamant there was made a great void. God then wrote another glyph "breathe out" and the adamant began to breathe out air and filled the void with vapors. As God knelt over the void his presence set the vapors all ablaze, and the Outer Fire was created. Then God wrote another glyph "protection" in the fire, and God blew into the glyph, and from his breath the Aether descended on the void and covered it, and hid the void from his consuming presence. He looked on the void and saw that it was full of tumults, caught between the frigid adamant and the glowing Aether. Then God wrote a fourth glyph, a glyph in the air "bring forth life" and the glyph swelled with water and a single great drop fell and splashed onto the tumult of the void. Wherever the water fell plants sprung up and flourished. Then a second smaller drop fell, and where it landed the Great Tree grew up into the air and sent its roots deep into the tumult. Then a third drop fell, smallest of all, and as it fell it broke into two parts. One fell in the branches of the Great Tree, and one fell among its roots. From this one drop the two peoples of TwinWorld came forth, the Fay and the Zarth.
